picture frame jig

[tracyguy]

Hi there I was wondering if anyone knows of any jig i can make to glue up my picture frames. I have tried a few but feel there must be better out there.

Thanks Martin

I use this one and find it quite good. Don't know if they are available in the UK. Would not take much to make one.http://www.busybeetools.com/products/CLAMP-FRAME-SELF-SQUARING-5X7-TO-26X30.html

I use a very simple Double "L" method, I am geating ready to leave the house but as soon as I get home I will post a picture of how I do mine.

Here is a link to a home made one similar to what I post before. Has step by step instructions and photos. http://www.wetcanvas.com/Articles2/138/139/

Here is an article I threw together awhile ago on how I make picture frames. You will see in the article the simple picture frame jig I made and one of the ways I clamp it to keep everything together nice and tight. You can also lay the clamps across the jig from end to end. You can see in the pictures that it is a very eaasy build and it works very well (at least for me) and can handle a large varity of frame sizes. You will see in one of the pictures that I have like a million brads in the jig, I had just gotten a brad nailer and was playing with it and went a little overboard
